Exercise does not have to be Scary!

My misconceptions of exercise was it had to a crazy mess that nearly kills you like on biggest loser.  Yes, I really thought that.  If you are like me and can not wrap around the idea that work outs can be easy.  My thought has been blown away.  We do not have to avoid exercise or fear it.  It is as simple as you want to make it.  

Let me tell you how I figured this out.  There are people out there that does what their body tells them and they lose weight without running miles or doing cardio.  I found out you can do simple workouts for under one hour a day and be healthy.  Sometimes being overweight does not mean your unhealthy.  You need to find your happy place for working out.  Mine is Stretching with standing pushups and walking.  It really is that simple. 

Please do not fear workout.  I once was around 170 or 180 but I walked over 10 miles a day.  Now I have more issues due to my tremors getting worse. ( My doctor mentioned it could be the start of Parkinson's.)  Life can be horrible when your body works against you.... Yet, I still found my happy place with working out and if I can so can you! 

My first pick was swimming. I could swim all day but can not afford a gym membership. :(

Muv IPhone 5 Armband - Pro Athlete Quality Review





What do I think?  I think it is a sturdy phone holder for walking and running.  I used a different phone and not an IPhone and it still worked perfectly.  They are tear resistant and hold up well through intense workouts.  Most of these products do not hold up on the Velcro end but this does.  It sticks and stays.  With this on your arm you free your hands from holding your phone or having the cords in the way of your exercise.  This is quite the phone holder. 








Can be purchased here.

Product Description
- The MuvUSA iPhone 5 armband is designed to perform and last.
- The premium red stitching puts this armband in the best class of quality, durability and style.
- The superior velcro will remain intact and will ensure that the band does not slip off your arm, even in the most intense workouts.
- All of the openings are also reinforced and hence tear-resistant.
- The ultra soft neoprene ensures full comfort and no damage to your skin.
- It protects your iPhone from damage and is usable in any condition because it is waterproof and sweat resistant
- The touch screen protector is slim and highly sensitive, so you can use your touch screen with no hassle.
- The high-visibility reflector allows you to run or exercise outdoors at any time during the day or night.
- The key holder and the 4 openings at the back provide great convenience.






I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Working out with a disability, Veth Fitness Exercise Bands

I am in physical therapy and need ways I can work out around my disability.  I got to try these fitness bands for a few weeks now and love them.  The level of workout you get from these is quite amazing.  This was my first experience with this type of workout. These tube bands are much sturdier than flat bands and work even better.  The handles and straps make it even easier to do the work and are they are comfortable. 

Works great with my workouts.  Currently I am trying some Yoga stretches and Pilates to build up strength so I can work on other issues later.  The bands make a perfect merriment to my stretching.  I am Ecstatic about getting to try these. 

Veth Fitness also has a wonderful and friendly customer service reps that will work with you on any issues you might have.

~~ my results are from limited movement exercise and diet and of course this great product! 
Now do not get me wrong but I am a big  no no with artificial sweeteners but sugar can be just as bad in other ways on your body  I just wanted that out in the air since I am not a fan of either.    ( I stuck with the process for the most part but I will not eat sugar free products.  That was a simple substitution, I just used real fruit with no sweeteners.  I make my own jelly without all the sugar. )

Ok everyone I have had it.. I can not take my weight with stride or ignoring it anymore. I used to be so active walking 10 miles a day. Now I can not walk down the street without my hips or knees hurting. This post is to draw attention to the companies out there that help people and focus on getting healthy. May it be Food, Health, clothing, electronic, and so on. I will do a blog review and a weekly check in to and mention how your products are helping me with my goal. So please contact me in hopes that you can help me with my struggle of being overweight and unhealthy. I think this would be a great opportunity for us to work together. I am open to suggestion and am very pr friendly. (probably because I have worked in customer service my whole life. :) Ok here its my info I am 5'5 I Weight 265 on a good day I have fibromyalgia and a few other problems. I eat rather healthy but am limited in some movements do to surgeries (the most recent being on my foot for a nerve tumor. ) I am so determind to make it work now. I have my son to live for and take care of because he can not take care of himself because he has aspergers and Mental issues I rather not say.
